TUO Chef Knife, 8 inch Sharp Kitchen Knife with Pakkawood Handle, High Carbon Steel, Professional for Chopping & Dicing, Gift Box - Fiery Phoenix Series

Owned this knife for 5 years and it still performs like day one. Razor-sharp edge, holds up to daily use, and the Damascus finish still looks stunning. Only picked up a couple of small chips over the years but that's probably due to my mishandling/treatment/maintenance than anything else; nothing that affects performance though. Excellent quality and worth every penny.

This knife is a joy to use. While looking unwieldy - it is the opposite. It is unrivaled by any other in my, admittedly, vast collection. Every time I use it I feel guilty about not having reviewed it. To assuage that guilt I state that this is an excellent tool in sharpness, balance, feel and quality.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Love this. Definitely not rust-proof, but that's an easy fix if it does get rusty (vinegar). I always wash it by hand. Was VERY sharp right out of the box, and has stayed pretty sharp for the year or so I've had it. If I had to buy again, I might buy the version with the little divots on the side to keep veggies from sticking to it. I don't expect to need another, though, because this is extremely well-built (at least from what I can tell). I use it for pretty much everything except cutting bones and ice. Also like damascus steel is pretty but that's just a bonus

Good knife, would be better if it was sharper.

I love this knife. It keeps a sharp edge with just a minimal effort. It’s the perfect size and shape for dinner prep. I have other good knives, but I nearly always reach for this one. I have sent two of them as gifts! Recently Tuo has added other kinds of knives that match this style. I sent one of them as a gift too! I have a Japanese paring knife that I received as a gift, but I usually use the Tuo paring knife that matches this one. Very practical and beautiful knives! At good prices too!

This is one of the better knives I’ve purchased. The quality of the blade and handle is amazing!

Ordered a few of these to have for guests or when my shuns are sent out for corrective sharpening. Functionally are great. Very sharp. Well balanced. Aesthetically awesome. I actually love using them. The only thing is that the steel seems to be not very hard. It gets dinged up pretty easily unlike my shuns that take a beating and have never dinged in the 10 years I’ve had them. I doubt the hardness rating. Good thing they aren’t expensive. Just plan to take appropriate case to file with each use and occasional sharpening and honestly it performs like a knife 3x the cost. Some have commented on design flaws which I will address: - heavy handle and drop issues. This is highly subjective. I like a beefy handle and I find it perfect. - knuckles don’t clear bottom when chopping. I do t have this issue. Ever. And I have thick hands. Unless you’re a giant... - knives unbalanced. Nope. I find them perfect. Awesome value for the price. Have used everyday for a year, cook huge batches, still look and function like new.
